COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONWho on earth would go out for a walk in the middle of the storm? Ando on top of that, all the streetlamps have gone out.
A car illuminates that alley and, for a second, you have seen two eyes sparkling. You give some thought to it. You don’t know what is dragging you , what is calling you. You go in.
Tinxto.

Pours a jet black color with brown head. Tropical fruits, coffee, pine, chocolate, caramel and herbs in both aroma and flavour. Kicking bitterness on the aftertaste, with a great coffee presence. Flabbergasting!

Pours a dark black with a lasting tan head. Aroma completely unexpected, the colour suggested dark coffee or chocolate but the aroma is completely of tropical fruit. Smooth beer for it’s alcohol content, you get a hit of mango and pineapple quickly followed by a liquorice background which i didn’t feel complemented the tropical fruit much but wasn’t unleasant. Something quite different, a pleasant surprise for all senses.

In short: A crisp citrusy Black IPA of superior quality. How: Tap at Drunk Monk, Mataró, Spain. (later tap at Never Stop, San Sebastian Spain, then some bottles)The look: Black body topped by a persistent small beige head leaving a lot of sticky lacings on the glass. In long: Nose is bright citrusy hops with mild roasty-tobacco notes, almost smells like a regular IPA. In mouth the beer has a medium body and appropriate medium carbonation, an ok standard mouthfeel. Taste starts with some blackened malts, a little sip of black coffee, a little black stuff sweetness (molasses, black liquorice). This solid malt backbone is met with force by a solid hopping of fresh citrusy hops., After-taste of roast and grapefruits. Nothing original here but the flavors are bright, the beer is very crisp, this is a superior Black IPA. For those about to brew Back in Black, I salute you.
